The term of the leases (other than the timber lease) will be twenty years from 1st January, 1917, at the rental tendered, with right of renewal for one further term of twenty years at a rental assessed at 5 per cent. of the unimproved value of the land at the time of renewal, such valuation, in the event of dispute, to be determined by arbitration. Compensation for substantial improvement will be allowed to the lessee, as provided in section 263 of the Native Land Act, 1909.
